More than 40 fifth-grade students from Gouverneur Middle School met with a team of EOD (explosive ordnance disposal) specialists Oct. 14 outside the Fort Drum STARBASE Academy for a STEM career demonstration. The Soldiers with the 760th Ordnance Company, one of two EOD companies stationed at Fort Drum, explained how they are trained to detect, disarm and dispose of explosive munitions. Afterward, students got to explore firsthand the massive transport vehicle the Soldiers arrived in and the robots they use on missions. (Photo by Mike Strasser, Fort Drum Garrison Public Affairs)
